Shenna Bellows on Health Care

Supports ObamaCare & universal health coverage

I Support Universal Health Coverage: My mother went back to school to become a nurse, and I've seen up close how much good we can do in Maine when we expand healthcare coverage. I support universal access to affordable healthcare for all
Americans including acute, chronic, preventative, and long-term care. The Affordable Care Act is an important first step toward universal coverage, but it needs to be improved to expand coverage to all people and simplify the process for signing up.

Protecting Patients and Ending the Repeal Debate: Republican Susan Collins voted against the Affordable Care Act and continues to call for full repeal of the law years after it became law--without offering a replacement solution.

Expanding
Medicare and Medicaid: The federal government should be negotiating drug prices directly with pharmaceutical companies, which would reduce costs for patients and save us billions of taxpayer dollars a year that now pad Big Pharma's bottom line.
